I definitely picked the right surgeon. Dr. Freeman has a great "bedside manner " and both surgeries went very well.

Dr. Freeman was very professional, making sure he gave data on success rate, pros/cons, etc about having what at this point is really an elective surgery for a double hernia, taking more than adequate time to speak with me and answer any questions and address any concerns. Very impressed with his personal demeanor

We are following guidelines set by the CDC and actively working with the State Department of Health on the phased approach for vaccine distribution. If you received your first dose of the vaccine from Optum prior to January 25, 2021, you should have already received your appointment confirmation for the second dose. This appointment confirmation will come via phone, text, or email from the State's COVID-19 vaccine registration portal. For those that received their first dose after January 25, 2021, we provided details following your vaccine on how you can get registered for the second dose.

Additionally, those that received their vaccine prior to January 25, 2021: Due to an administrative error, you may have received a bill for the administration of the vaccine. This bill was incorrectly sent out, and you can disregard it. We have removed the charge from your account. Should you have any further questions, please contact us at 1-505-232-1000.
